Convincing your parents to buy you a Corvette is not going to be easy. A new Corvette costs between 45 and 85 thousand dollars, the price of a small house in much of the country, and roughly the price of a college education. For most parents this is a financially impossible goal. In this wikiHow we'll examine some of the strategies and options you may have in your goal to drive a Corvette when you are so hampered by your parents' limitations.

Steps

1

Research Corvettes.

Go to the homepage and look at the models.

Note the prices of various models and packages.

Consider what packages you want and how much they cost.

Look online for the prices of used Corvettes.

2

Consider your parents financial situation:

If your parents are very wealthy and your birthday is coming up, just ask them for one.

If your parents are on a budget, and most are, make an educated guess as to whether they can afford this kind of car. The answer is probably not. If your parents don't have a lot of money to throw away, you can also try to ask them to "lease" the car which is small monthly payments of usually 600 dollars a month.

3

Learn how to drive. Your parents may not be too keen on the idea of buying you an expensive new car when your driving skills are still so raw that you could crash the thing before you break in the seat.

4

Consider getting a job. You can get a job at 16 years of age. Save as much as possible and ask your parents to help you with the rest.

5

Think about the positives of getting a Corvette. Reasons that include speed, like "never be late for school" are probably not going to work as your parents may be concerned about safety.

6

Try negotiating a deal with your parents. For example you might promise to get straight A's for the rest of high school in return for a Corvette. Be careful what you wish for though, as you might get it and then you'll have to get straight A's. You can also promise to get a sports scholarship so your parents don't have to pay for college.
